Alli then urged the court to stop Falana from taking part in the case as a prosecutor.

But Falana said the counsel from the Osun state ministry of Justice properly introduced him to take over the case as a prosecutor and that no law compelled him to produce the fiat the ministry had granted to him in taking the prosecutor role in the court.
